Facecheesus Grossus ( I think its Latin or something)

I just remembered a funny situation in which a patient came in to have his glasses adjusted and was saying he couldn't see out of them very well. I told him he would see alot better through them if he did have the back 40 on there. He laughed and I stuck them in the ultrasonic and gave him some new nosepads. He was a farmer.

When I made my statement, the other opticians looked at me like "oooooooooooo....now you're going to get it". All of us had a good laugh, including the patient. :)
